One of the first things you need to know about comparing any mobile plan or deal is to first forget about all the fancy marketing promotional material that comes with them! To give you an idea of what I mean you have probably seen something similar to: “Sign up for a $79 deal, & we’ll give you $230 worth of free calls.”

So what does this really mean? Well, the first detail I will verify is that $230 worth of free calls means absolutely nothing until you know exactly what you are being charged. The key to knowing how to compare any mobile phone plan or deal on the market is looking closely at the details and read the fine print.

But That Itself Can Be A Problem, Here’s Why

Have you ever noticed when trying to review the fine print / terms & conditions of a mobile phone plan that they are extremely hard to read. They are either: all in capital letters; in large blocks of text (making it hard to read); or so small that it’s not even noticeable.

Do you think there is a reason behind this? Of course! They are doing everything in their power to see that you do not, cannot, or will not be able to read it!

And Here’s Another Problem when Comparing Mobile Deals & Plans

The sheer volume of mobile phone offers out there makes the whole experience totally and utterly confusing! You find yourself in a position where no matter how many deals and plans you compare - every single one runs its’ own sale pitch about being the best. The result is: that you can quite easily end up selecting one deal over another that costs you hundreds more over the years!

Following my retirement from the mobile phone industry, (after being in it for more than eight years): I decided I wanted to share the insider knowledge I had gained to empower consumers (like you) with a simple way to compare mobile deals quickly and easily, without confusion.

Let me tell you, it wasn’t an easy task! But I am happy to inform you that this special report is now available, and is called “Mobile Phone Secrets Revealed”.

If you’re looking to buy a new mobile phone; change your plan; or reduce your current mobile costs, then this report provides objective information that will help you to choose from the many plans that are currently on offer. It provides you with a simple and easy way on how to compare any mobile phone plan or deal currently on the market like an expert.

Mobile phone companies, with their complicated plans, do not make the task of choosing easy and they do not provide the public with clear information. Instead of just throwing your hands up and choosing any old plan, it is better to equip yourself with the knowledge that can help you to make a wise choice.

So, if you want to be able to compare mobile phone plans in a way that slices hundreds to thousands of dollars off your present and future phone bills, then you owe it to yourself to get a copy of “Mobile Phone Secrets Revealed.”

As this security solution is not such a great idea, other companies have researched, and finally found a new way to prevent cell phones and PDAs theft. This method permits to remotely disable up to four different tasks of a stolen cell phone or PDA, rendering it inoperable. But at the same time data contained in the device are locked. The beauty of this option is that the unit is not damaged in any way - full functionality and data can be easily restored if the device is recovered. Thus, the device is useless to the thief, but it can be reactivated and restored if it is recovered and returned to its rightful owner.

Another new security breach has been encountered this year when reports were received about a backdoor Trojan horse program that can take control over a mobile device. This is the first known backdoor Trojan horse for PDAs. The subject program, identified as Backdoor.Brador.A, attacks PDAs running the Windows operating system. And like all backdoors, it cannot spread by itself. The Trojan arrives as an e-mail attachment or can be downloaded from the Internet. Also, it has a complete set of destructive functions characteristic for backdoors. After it is installed, this small program is activated when the PDA is restarted and begins to look for a remote administrator to take control of the device. Security specialists claim the virus was written by a Russian virus coder since it was attached to an e-mail with a Russian sender address and contained Russian text. Fortunately, the Trojan’s threat control and removal was rated as “easy”.

The important thing about this virus is not the number of devices affected, because this number is very small, but the fact that this is the first one that appeared on the “market” is considered to be very important. We have to admit that it is hardly surprising that viruses have found their way to mobile devices. This is the natural trend. Where technology goes, viruses will follow. As the new technology shifts into the mobile market, these threats will move in that direction also. The specialists from the Kaspersky Labs claim they were expecting a virus attack on a PDA, due to the latest attacks against other mobile devices. Now, the PDA users look at a real danger and it is a well known fact that interested intruders will grab the chance to attack PDAs and mobile phones in the near future. Virus threats development for mobile devices is passing through the same stages as the one for desktops.

Almost at the same time with the appearance of the first Trojan for PDAs, the first virus to affect cell phones has also arrived. This worm is called “Cabir”, and it has been spotted by some security specialists who issued an alert concerning the danger. Cabir spreads using a file named “Caribe.sis” and travels across devices working with the Symbian operating system which is used in PDAs and many cell phones. Cabir places itself usually on a mobile device when a user agrees to a transmission showing the text message “Caribe”. After that the worm begins a nonstop search particularly for Bluetooth-connected wireless devices to send itself to. Also, the battery’s life of the infected device is harshly reduced during this process. The inventors of Cabir did not design the worm to spread massively. It was intended to be a test demonstrating that these mobile devices can be easily infected by viruses because of their rapid maturation. The worm rated with a low risk because it has to be intentionally activated by a mobile phone user, and also allowing the Caribe package requires pressing a button prior the files can be loaded into the receiving phone.

It was predictable that viruses and worms for cell phones and PDAs would appear. This is the end result of the impressive advances made in mobile communication technology in the past years. Over time, cell phones and PDAs turn out to be more PC-like, making them vulnerable to viruses. And because they are more PC-like, smart cell phones and PDAs are mostly used by companies for mission-critical applications and data storage. Also they are used for receiving emails and text messages just like desktop computers. That makes their users just as exposed to viruses and worms. These security concerns can be dealt with software-encryption solutions that need to be attached to the new devices. The encryption technology expands to mobile devices the identical type of security that many companies have organized into their desktop computers. It encrypts data and prevents illegal access to the data stored within the device, which is either lost or stolen.

Mobile phones have become as commonplace as pocket radios. There is no where you will go without finding someone with the palm tucked close to the ear receiving or making a call.
Mobile services differ greatly from the traditional telephony service in many respects. Here, we try to look at how cellular phones phones operate and how calls are made and received.

The first thing you will have to understand about mobile technology is mobile phones are essentially radios. All communication - to an from the device - travel along radio lines and is bound by radio transmission rules we see in the old Motorola two way radio systems. The only difference is that cellular phones are able to apply computer concepts such as advanced networking and sophiscated programming into their functions and that is how we come by SMS text messages, conferencing, call waiting features and calendar systems.

The second concept is that of cells. There is no single block of network but rather a city may be divided into several cells and a call from one cellular device to the other keeps hoping along the cells till it gets to the destined number. The advantage of the cell system, is that it allows for frequency reuse, meaning several users can use the same small cell and permits the company to use the same frequency over and over again without locking resources to one phone call only. Typically, one cell covers about 26 square kilometers and each one has a base station which is just a tower and some radio equipment to manage the signals.
Of late, cell phone technologies are laden with computer applications. SMS and WAP access are for example typical computer applications that have found their way into cellular functionality. SMS operates like the traditional email system and is controlled by a server just like we have a network server. WAP dwells more on computer programming and is also controlled by a WAP server. When you send a text message, it travels over the cellular network and is stored in a server and delivered to the recipient. The reason why it is purely a computer network facility and independent of the cellular service is that even whilst receiving calls SMS messages can come through.

WAP is purely an internet driven service integrated into cellular networks to enhance experience normally reserved for internet surfers. Examples of these facilities are downloads and information services like flight schedules and weather updates which are obtained from cellular operators via handsets.
As mobile users grow in sophiscation, so does the technology that drives the device. Each new day we shall see what we call convergence technology whereby other fields of communication shall be gradually fused into mobile operations to give customers enhanced experience.
